The Peller Brewing Company opened on Burlington Street in 1947. Andrew Peller made sure there were big windows to showcase his polished-copper vats. - Special to the Hamilton Spectator
Andrew Peller grew up poor in Hungary, came to Canada at 23. He ended up working for Cosgrave's Brewery in Toronto, owned by tycoon E.P. Taylor — a man who liked buying the competition and shutting it down.
Taylor bought Hamilton's Regal Brewery, turned off the taps. Peller, as instructed, helped do that. But he believed this city still needed a brewery of its own.
Just as the Second World War was ending, Peller started rounding up investors. He put in every dime he had, too. And in 1947 he opened his shiny brewery, with big windows on the street so everyone could see his 6,500-gallon polished-copper vats.
Peller workers never got thirsty. One free bottle of beer at 10 a.m., two at lunch, one at 3 p.m. and two more at shift's end.
In 1954 Peller sold out to E.P. Taylor. In his autobiography, Peller said this about that: "Taylor paid me more than my wildest dreams. My elation was tempered only by the depression I felt at parting with the brewery, into which I had put heart and soul." But he went on to make another fortune with Andrés Wines.
